Amick: De’Aaron Fox requests trade

#68
Been saying it since the infamous Draymond podcast. Fox is a Klutch puppet.

I wish I really knew everything behind the scenes with Brown. I know many here wanted him out. I’m 1000% not one of them. Can only speculate since nothing concrete has come out but could be Vivek saw an opening to get his guy in, sounds like the players were tired of working hard so they started quitting on MB, heard Domas wasn’t a fan, but where does Fox fall on all of this. Hes the same guy who in the Summer said he didn’t want another coach. Could it be that Fox wasn’t part of that and there was other stuff we aren’t privy too that caused Rich Paul to meet with Monte and Wes.
WTF is going on.

Just retool with a trade and they will still be as good or maybe better. I personally don’t think SA is the team we should deal with but if I’m Sac, I’m leveraging SA against Houston and making either team up the ante on an offer

Fox is really good at politics. Got his picture with Brown despite fumbling the initial "was this your doing?" round of questioning. Klutch is coaching him through this.

But firing Mike Brown turned out to be good because the rest of the roster seems to have hated him?
Or maybe the players have some ownership in this. Damn man, MB has won a lot of effing games in the NBA. He’s a tough coach but not inept. I know the coach always takes the blame but, since this firing, I’ve got a bad feeling about some of the players who may not have enough intestinal fortitude to be more.

I sure the heck don’t root against Christie, but I sure hope it wasn’t a new coach bump. Tough coach followed by cumbaya coach. Just retool the roster

gotta hope that post-Mike Brown Malik’s stat bump is real lol
I would say that bump started when he was put in the starting lineup. He can absolutely average 22 and 8 or better.

Do we leave the same starters if this happens and bump Ellis in? Do we still make the Cam/Collins trade and start them?

this better not drag on. Just trade him tomorrow, I don’t think fans want to deal wit this

MB has been fired by a lot of teams though too. I was hesitant to like the MB firing too but the results and the player quotes have been telling.

Yeah, you'd start Ellis and then Castle-Sochan-Collins basically becomes your new bench with Carter.
